Commission
Moving Park
It looks as if the Jackson
park locomotive will be
moved after all.
An Informal vote by the
parks and recreation commis
sion at a special joint meet
ing of the city council and the
commission Friday afternoon,
howed the commission unan
imously in favor of a move.
This, in effect, reversed an
earlier decision by the com
mission Jan. 13 to leave the
locomotive in its present loca
tion in the northwest corner
of Jackson park some 10 feet
from the right of way on Mc
Andrews rd.
No Location Chosen
No date was given for the
move nor was a new location
chosen. The commission de
cided to leave these matters
for further study.
Russ Jamison.i commission
chairman, said the move will
be made in accordance with
good park planning so that
it will not detract from the
best use of the park area.
The council took no action
on the matter, but left the de
cision entirely up to the com
mission. The purpose of Fri
day afternoon's meeting, Ma
yor John Snider said, was to
discuss the various issues at
hand and arrive at some sort
of unofficial decision.
Many Reasons Given
Several reasons were given
for recommending the move.
They included the opposition
of neighbors to the present
location of the locomotive, the
possibility of the locomotive
being a traffic hazard by
blocking the view of vehicles
entering McAndrews rd.,
from Clark st., the possibility
Asian Flu Cases
Said Dwindling
By United Press International
Asian flu strains turned up
in laboratories of 13 states,
though California, which had
been suffering the most from
Asian flu, appeared Saturday
to be recovering.
Government officials warn
ed, however, that there well
could be a spread of Asian flu
throughout the nation in
coming weeks.
The California outbreak ran
about two weeks, principally
in the Los Angeles area. It
was estimated that 250,000
persons were stricken, though
this figure was somewhat
speculative since many per
sons suffering Asian flu, par
ticularly mild cases, may have
diagnosed their illness as "a
severe cold."
Health, school and industry
officials in the Los Angeles
area said absenteeism had
shrunk to 9 per cent, close to
the normal for the mid-winter
season.
in Favor of
Locomotive
of it being in an unsafe place
for children to play on it, and
the possibility that McAn
drews rd. may some da y be
widened and the locomotive
would then have to be moved
anyway.
Several members of the
commission and' the council
said they would not be in
favor of moving the engine
if a new location would de
tract from its value as a tour
ist attraction.
Councilmen Robert Baccus
and R. L. Van Sickle said res
idents of their ward had ex
pressed concern over the pres
ent location and felt the loco
motive should be moved.
Action Slated on
Civil Rights Bill
Washington-OJPD-House Re
publican Leader Charles .A.
Halleck c om m e n d e d the
House Rules committee Satur
day for opening the door to
possible early action on a stal
led Civil Rights bill.
The Indianan said he is
confident the committee, at
its first meeting of the cur
rent session on Monday, will
vote to start hearings on the
measure, subject of the hot
test House controversy so far.
The bill would provide ad
ditional federal protection for
Negro voting rights in the
south and for school integra
tion orders. It is a pared-down
version of a measure Presi
dent Eisenhower proposed in
1959.
In calling Monday's session,
Rules Chairman Howard W.
Smith (D-Va.) broke a par
tisan logjam that has dom
inated the session. Republic
ans and northern Democrats
have been blaming each other
for House failure to bring the
bill to a vote.
The bill's democratic back
ers, who believed the measure
never would be cleared by
the conservative-minded rules
group, have been pushing a
discharge petition to take it
out of committee and to the
House floor. Most Republic
ans have been refusing to
sign.

Inspection of the state high
way commission's fund allo
cations made Thursday shows
that sums totaling more than
$8V2 million will go into road
and highway construction in
and near Jackson county dur
ing the coming year.
The amounts will make pos
sible progress toward comple
tion of the Pacific Highway
Freeway (which will be
known as Interstate 5 when
completed the length of the
state), and toward completion
of the so-called "Winnemucca-to-the
Sea" highway.
Here are the amounts, some
of them from state-federal in
terstate highway funds, others
from state-federal forest high
way monies:
Pacific Freeway $1,750,
000 to pave the Grants Pass
Evans Creek section of the
freeway north of the Rogue
river.
Pacific Freeway $2,950,
000 to pave the Evans Creek
Rock Point section of the
highway. (Contract for the
new double bridge across the
Rogue river at Homestead-on-
the-Rogue has already been
put up for bid.)
Pacific Freeway - $1,250,-1
000 to complete the freeway
from the Seven Oaks area
north of Central Point to the
interchange planned at the
Crater Lake highway in north
Medford.
Pacific Freeway $750,-
000 to purchase rights of way
for the freeway through the
City of Medford, on the so
called Crater Lake highway
Mistletoe section.
Lake of the Woods highway
$910,000 to grade the road
from the boundary of the
Rogue River National forest
to connect with the existing
paved road at Lake of the
Woods leading into Klamath
Falls. . (This was the largest
single forest highway alloca
tion in the state.)
Lake of the Woods highway
$650,000 to grade and pave
5 vi miles from near the end
of the existing pavement
above Brownsboro, near the
Hanley ranch, to connect with
the other section at the for
est boundary.
Finished by 1963
A total of $600,000 for this
highway route, to provide an
all-weather highway between
Medford and Klamath Falls,
has already been put under
contract. When completed it
will replace the Green Springs
route (Highway 66) as the
main east-west cross Cascade
route in this area. It is esti
mated that an additional $1,
000,000 will be required to
complete the route. If all goes
well it could be finished in
1962 or 1963.)
Crater Lake Highway -$290,000
to grade and pave
four miles of the Cascade
Gorge-Prospect section.
Medford-Provolt Highway
(better-known locally as the
Jacksonville highway, or
State Route 238) - $100,000 to
grade and pave the Daisy
creek section, near Jackson
ville. Other Allocation
Another allocation of local
interest is $250,000 for the
grading of the Greaser Basin
section of the Adel-Nevada
line segment of the "Winne-mucca-to-the-Sea"
route, of
which the Lake of the Woods
route is a part.
Nevada is nearing comple
tion of the road in that state,
and 17 miles westward from
the state line has been done
by Lake county. Upon com
pletion of the Greaser Basin
section and a few additional
miles of connecting roadway,
Winnemucca can be reached
by a direct road for the first
time. Previously it has been
necessary to go through Reno,
or along sub-standard desert
track roads.

Appeal to Brown
San Francisco (UPD Caryl
Chessman said Saturday he
would die rather than ask

take another look at the kid
naper-rapist's case anyway.
Chessman, who is sched
uled to die in the San Quentin
gas chamber Feb. 19., told a
news conference he would
stick : with the courts since
Brown had rejected a bid for
clemency made by the con-vict-auther's
attorney last
fall.
"I haven't ever gone to the
governor for clemency. I have
no intention of leaving the
courts as long as there are
any other courts left. I don't
intend to ever say another
word to the governor," Chess
man said. ' .
Brown's statement on the
case was based on a ruling
by Federal Judge Louis E.
Goodman, who Friday turned
down Chessman's demand for
a writ of habeas corpus. Good
man refused to issue the writ
but suggested that the case
might well be considered by
the California governor and
the state supreme court under

Castro Not Red,
Says CIA Official
Washington - (UPD A top
ranking U.S. intelligence of

"not a Communist" but has
played into a Red campaign
to take over Latin America.
Gen. C. P. Cabell, deputy
director of the Central Intelli
gence agency, said Cuban
Communists "a r e delighted
with the nature of (Castro's)
government, which has allow
ed the Communists opportun
ity, free opportunity to or
ganize, to propagandize, and
to infiltrate."
Cabell testified at a closed
hearing of the Senate internal
security subcommittee last
Nov. 5.
"We believe that Castro is
not a member of the Com
munist party, and does not
consider himself to be a Com
munist," Cabell said. He fur
ther maintained that "the Cu
ban Communists do not con
sider him a Communist party
member, or even a pro-Communist."
But Cabell added that Cas
tro "certainly is not anti-com
munist," can be swayed by
Red propaganda, and has giv

pro-Commiini&ts.

Members of Party
Vote Unanimously
On Most Planks
1 1 Points on List
For 1960 Campaign
Salem - (UPD - The Oregon
Democratic party in conven
tion emerged with an 11-point
party platform late Saturday.
Voting unanimously on
most of the planks, party
members included statements
on taxes, agriculture, power,
governmental reorganization,
civil rights, education, labor;
natural resources, economic
development, health and wel
fare and veterans affairs..
On taxes, the party voted
to oppose a general sales tax.
It urged every possible means
to halt the decline in farm in
come and recommended cre
ation of two bodies - a state
power authority and a region
al power corporation owned
by the public.
Abolishment of the board
of control was urged and also
increased pay for legislators.
End Death Penalty
The party went on record
favoring abolishment of capi
tal punishment and said it
favors trade with Red China
in everything but strategic
materials.
In the labor plank was a
paragraph favoring repeal of
the Taft-Hartley act and the
repeal of "any anti-labor pro
visions passed by the 1959
Congress." The latter was
taken to mean sections of the
new Landrum - Griffin bill,
which many segments of labor
term unfair.
The party backed up labor's
traditional stand against
"right to work laws."
Against Discrimination
On civil rights, the party
endorsed "a clear and un
equivical stand and expres
sion through law, facts and
deed, against any form of dis
crimination because of race,
creed, color or place of na
tional origin."
Also included in the plat
form were the following:
Endorsement of federal aid
to education and expansion of
the state scholarship program;
federal and state legislation to
hike the minimum wage to
$1.25 an hour; expansion of
park and camping facilities
including establishment of an
Oregon Dunes national park;
expansion of the state depart
